After three summers...he finally made it! Austin's cousin, my nephew, Ryan's brother's son, Shawn, 17, came to spend ten days at our house. Now, I say "at our house" lightly, because one thing we hardly ever did during his almost dozen nights, was stay home. It was a blast. I love him as much, if not more, as I did when he was 2 and sported the same giant smile and the same infectious giggle. I am grateful for the visit of this "Great" cousin for Austin, for Chloe, for Brian, and for me. It. was. a. blast.
